FDP for Cabin crew

Different reporting time for flight crew and cabin crew

In cases where cabin crew require more time than the

flight crew for their pre-flight briefing for the same flight

extended by the difference in reporting time between

the cabin crew and the flight crew as long as the

difference does not exceed 60 minutes.

The maximum daily FDP for cabin crew shall be

based on the time at which the flight crew report

for their FDP, but the FDP for cabin crew shall start at

the reporting time of the cabin crew. (Ny regel /CU)

Definition

Delayed reporting

• The postponement of a scheduled FDP by the operator

• before a crew member has left his/her place of rest.

2012-01-18

37

Delayed reporting cont’d

Unforeseen circumstances - Delayed reporting

(a) The operator may delay the reporting time in the event of

unforeseen circumstances, if procedures for delayed

reporting are established in the Operations Manual.

In such a case, if the crew member is informed of the

delayed reporting time before leaving his/her place of rest,

the FDP is calculated as follows:

(1) when the delay is < 4 hours, the max FDP is calculated

based on the original reporting time and the FDP starts

counting at the delayed reporting time.

2012-01-18

38

Delayed reporting cont’d

Unforeseen circumstances - Delayed reporting

(2) when the delay is 4 hours or more, the max FDP is

calculated based on the more limiting of the original or the

delayed reporting times and the FDP starts 4 hours after

the original reporting time.

(3) when the delay is 10 hours or more, the time between

the original and the delayed reporting time counts as a rest

period.

2012-01-18

39

Max duty hours

Minimum Rest

Reduced Rest

(a) The min rest periods under reduced rest arrangements are

12 hours at home base and 10 hours out of base.

(b) Reduced rest is used under FRM.

(c) The rest period following the reduced rest is extended by

the difference between the minimum rest period specified at

home base or out of base and the reduced rest.

(d) The FDP following the reduced rest is reduced by the

difference between the minimum rest period specified at

home base or out of base and the reduced rest.

(e) There is a max of two reduced rests between two recurrent

extended recovery rest periods as defined.
